About this audiobook
In the wake of family collapse, a writer and her two young sons move to London. The process of upheaval is the catalyst for a number of transitions—personal, moral, artistic, practical—as she endeavours to construct a new reality for herself and her children.
In the city she is made to confront aspects of living she has until now avoided and to consider questions of vulnerability and power, death and renewal, in what becomes her struggle to reattach herself to and believe in life.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cusk contraviene dictum de: Show don't tell, su novela, antes que construida de mostrar a sus personajes está construida de lo que estos dicen de sí mismos y de lo que la narradora infiere de ellos de lo que han dicho. Recién llegada a vivir en Londres la narradora se encuentra con una serie de personajes, algunos de su pasado remoto, que la ponen a ella en perspectiva (como también ocurre en Contraluz), novela ocurre en el punto entre lo que dicen los personajes de sí mismos y lo que la narradora revela de sí misma al consignar sus palabras (y las impresiones que de ellos tiene).
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it, the narrator was perfect and I can’t wait to move onto the next part of the trilogy.
